Spanish term or phrase: Ni venta consejo/ni venta producto
**Ni la venta consejo, ni la venta producto**, satisfacen las nuevas exigencias de los clientes frente a los comerciales en general, ni tampoco frente a Asesores que deben acompañarles en el momento clave de la creación de una solución hecha a medida.

Ni venta-consejo
En el terreno técnico:
Frecuentemente concebida como el arte de hacer preguntas

En el terreno de la relación:
Está tan centrada en el cliente que uno olvida sus objetivos

Ni venta-producto
En el terreno técnico:
Frecuentemente concebida como una venta a la fuerza

En el terreno de la relación:
Está tan centrada en el objetivo del comercial que uno olvida al cliente

My attempt: product-oriented sale and advice-oriented sale. *However*, what is really throwing me is the 'Ni' that appears before the term as a heading. That is, neither/nor doesn't work when the two are separated...thanks for your suggestions :)

Not a consultancy-based sale.... Not a product-based sale


Explanation:
Maybe it does 't fit your context, but aren't they saying that it is neither one nor the other -ie both, or something different...?

If you don't feel Neither ... Nor works, then how about "Not a consultancy sale..." and "Not a product sale"

You could say "consultancy-based and product-based instead of oriented - business like "-based" things :-)

Not sure though really!
Hopefully helped a bit...

Also, depending on your context, you could say "Not just/simply/solely a consultancy-based sale... Not just/simply/solely a product-based sale".
Though to me it does seem that Neither... Nor (with those useful three dots) would seem to be fine.

agree  Michael Moore: I might say "It's not a consultancy based sale or a product based sale," which would generally be followed by an alternative example. Hope this helps

(ignore the 'neither/nor' given the context)


Explanation:
if the introductory sentence clearly shows that the provision of neither type of service is satisfactory you could just keep the consultancy & product headings & let the text elaborate. Is it a powerpoint presentation ? short & snappy would be best !

OK Niki-K ! I suggest as titles, presuming the 'neither/nor' appears above, "Product-driven approach" and then "Consultancy-driven approach" - their definition & limitations remain clear in context I feel (I still intuit bullit points & the writer will develop them orally).

agree  Nelida Kreer: I'm okay with your take. Pity you did not suggest a translation. It might be something like "An advice based or a product based approach/sales pitch?" and then let the text elaborate, as you rightly said.

Neither client-oriented/focused nor product-oriented/focused sales/advertising


Explanation:
El texto está mal redactado en español. No debe ir ninguna de las dos comas: Ni una cosa ni la otra satisfacen....

La publicidad basada en el cliente (venta-consejo) toma como parámetro las necesidades del cliente, hacerle notar/creer al potencial cliente que NECESITA el producto.
